St. Paul’s Bowling Wolves Strike School Records and Roll Through District

(COVINGTON, La.) –The St. Paul’s Bowling Wolves have had quite a season. The Wolves are currently 11-0 and have brought home the 2019 District Championship. This is the first district championship in bowling in the entire 108 year existence of St. Paul’s. The bowling program was re-booted four years ago under Coach Peter Bertucci, who has led the team to a record setting year. The Wolves are ranked third in the LHSAA power rankings, which is the highest they have been. The team’s three seniors Peter Bertucci, Jonathan Wellmeyer and Joseph Brown are showing the younger players the ropes of bowling for their upcoming years. Coach Bertucci said the younger bowlers – Kasey Gottschalk, Trystan Melerine, Jacob Bounds, Jack Bertucci, and Zachary Van Zandt – are developing quickly.
